The Endless Dream of Change
an excerpt from the video
The Endless Dream of Change (حِلْم التَّغْيِير الأَبَدِي; הַחֲלוֹם הָאֵינְסוֹפִי שֶׁל שִׁנּוּי) is an AI work of art. The 2-minute video is engineered in a unique style - using different AI techniques to alter, enhance, and control the output of each frame. The video is in sync with the sound, delivering a peculiar yet mesmerizing audio-visual experience traveling through the realm of “change” - change and evolution of one’s self, the society around them, and the world.
The idea to depict this journey started from an experience of self-introspection - through one’s feelings, emotions, and questions. Then it sparked. Expression, brainstorming, vision-boarding, blueprinting, and weeks of creative coding using GANs (Generative Artificial Networks) led to this final result.
